Service start in Windows with java opts

Hi!,
I am using Tomcat 5.0 in Windows XP pro. The application i am using uses Ant in order to start tomcat with the following env keys:

<env key="JAVA_OPTS" value="-DproxySet=true -DproxyPort=80"/>

However, it always opens a new command window showing the info about tomcat starting up. I am interested in not having this window shown.

I used the Tomcat Monitor (to avoid showing the window with info about tomcat starting up) and added the following lines to the "Java Options" section:

-DproxySet=true
-DproxyPort=80

However, when i start my application, it sends errors. Is there any way to verify that this settings are being used?

Thanks for the help

Complete ant code:

   <macrodef name="start_tomcat">
     <attribute name="cmdPrefix" default=""/>
     <element name="addArgs" implicit="true" optional="true"/>
     <sequential>
      <exec executable="C:/Tomcat_5.0/bin/catalina.bat">
   <arg line="@{cmdPrefix}start"/>
   <env key="CATALINA_BASE" value="C:/Tomcat_5.0"/>
   <env key="CATALINA_HOME" value="C:/Tomcat_5.0"/>
   <env key="JAVA_OPTS" value="-DproxySet=true -DproxyPort=80"/>
   <addArgs/>
        </exec>
        <sleep seconds="10"/>
     </sequential>
 </macrodef>
 <target description="Start Tomcat" name="start.tomcat">
     <echo message="****************Tomcat starting up...*******************"/>
     <start_tomcat/>
     <echo message="****************Tomcat started*******************"/>
 </target>

Drop that as a JSP into some webapp-dir on your tomcat:

---------snip---------

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8" session="false"
	import="java.util.Enumeration" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<body>
<h1>List of properties</h1>
<table>
<tr><th>property name</th><th>property value</th></tr>
<%
Enumeration propNames = System.getProperties().propertyNames();
while (propNames.hasMoreElements())
{
	String propName = (String) propNames.nextElement();
	String propValue = System.getProperty(propName);
%>
<tr><td><%=propName%></td><td><%=propValue%></td></tr>
<%
}
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>
